How to
Use this Book
Visual Vocabulary Resources—A New Classroom Resource
Purpose and Use
The Visual Vocabulary Resources book provides teachers using the Macmillan/McGraw-Hill California
Treasures reading program photo-word cards that visually introduce specific vocabulary from the

program. The photos are intended to preteach vocabulary to English learners and Approaching Level
students, as well as offer additional, meaningful language and concept support to these students.
The photo-word cards are designed to interrelate with the English Learners and Approaching Small
Groups lessons and the English Learner Resource lessons, all of which are designed to support the EL
and struggling reader population. The Visual Vocabulary Resources book is referenced specifically in
those lessons.

In the first half of the book, the photo-word cards support three categories of vocabulary in the core
reading program:
1. Key Vocabulary These are the Key Words as introduced to the entire class in the core vocabulary
lesson and core selection. Students of all levels of language acquisition are taught these words:
Beginning, Early Intermediate, Intermediate, and Early Advanced.

2. Function Words and Phrases These are idioms, adverbs, two-word verbs, and other words
and phrases of particular use to English learners. Function Words and Phrases are also drawn
from the core selection, but will not be taught to the whole group as part of the core lesson. Students of all levels of language acquisition are taught these words: Beginning, Early
Intermediate, Intermediate, and Early Advanced.
3. Basic Words These words are chosen from the core selection, to fit a specific thematic category
that will help EL learners increase their depth of vocabulary. These words are not singled out for
instruction to the whole group. Only students at the Beginning and Early Intermediate levels of
language acquisition are taught these words.

Structure of Book
The Key Vocabulary and Function Words and Phrases sections both have two photos on each right-hand
page. Each photo represents one vocabulary word. The teacher script is located on the back of each
card directly behind its accompanying photo. The Basic Words section shows six photos per page,
followed by a teacher routine. The ELD Content Words section mimics this format with 4 to 6 words per
page.

Teacher Scripts
The lessons found on the Key Vocabulary, Function Words and Phrases, and ELD Vocabulary sections are
interactive in approach. They define the vocabulary words in English and Spanish, point out cognates
(where appropriate), and provide strategies to get students talking and using the new language as

much as possible; for example students:

•
•
•
•
•

chorally pronounce the word to focus on articulation
partner talk with structured sentence frames to use the word in oral speech
role-play to make the word come to life and use in everyday situations
connect the word to known words and phrases through sentence replacement activities
engage in movement activities to experience the word’s meaning

The techniques make instruction engaging and memorable for students. These low-risk ways to practice
speaking help students make connections and develop understanding as they acquire vocabulary.
